Zhangmu (Chinese: 樟木) or Dram in Tibetan (Tibetan: འགྲམ, Wylie: 'gram, THL: dram, ZYPY: Zham), or Khasa in Nepali, is a customs town and port of entry located in Nyalam County in Tibet, China close to the Nepal-China border, just uphill and across the Bhote Koshi River from the Nepalese town of Kodari.
